- Summary:
- Today, we can prevent, detect, and treat all kinds of diseases in their early stages thanks to medical equipment that can look inside the human body. How was the medical revolution that led to X-ray machines and CT scanners possible? While researching heat conduction, French mathematician Joseph Fourier discovered the "Fourier Transform," a mathematical function that allows us to understand a wave form using sine and cosines. Surprisingly, this mathematical transform proved applicable to.
